In owners' own words
I saw smoke coming from a cylinder under the brake booster. I then checked under the hood,the smoke simmerd and went out. Just ariving home from work ,I said ill get it checked out tomorow. Two hours later a neighbor knocked at the door, and said your car is on fire. Steering
While driving ball joints/pitman arm malfunctioned. Was no prior warning. Vehicle was serviced by dealership before problem happened. Steering linkages were defective after having vehicle checked. Steering
Recall 96v135000 ; the pittman arm was not lubricated enough which caused the ball joints to become corroded. Called manufacturer, but this vehicle is not included in the recall. *Ak Steering
